Coral Bells - Plum Pudding
Heuchera Plum Pudding (Coral Bell), Heuchera 'Plum Pudding', boasts a shimmering plum purple hue on maple-like leaves with dark purple veining.  ‘Plum Pudding’ remains vibrant and colorful! This coral bell shows off its small white flowers, which bloom in early summer; not as impressive as the foliage, but  flowers stand tall on dark stems in summer.  Its foliage changes to a silver with a purple tint in winter.  During mild winters the foliage will persist if you provide adequate moisture to the soil. Cold and drought tolerant and withstanding heat and humidity, nothing seems to phase this plant.  But to keep ‘Plum Pudding’ looking its best, be sure to water in hot, dry weather, giving the plant about one inch of water per week. Attracting butterflies and hummingbirds, this little gem will surely become a “must have” plant for your borders, as a ground cover, in containers or mass plantings. Coral Bells is susceptible to rot, so good drainage is essential while roots establish themselves. ‘Plum Pudding’ needs about one inch of water per week; divide clumps in fall.  Foliage should not be trimmed back in the fall, but this coral bell may be tidied up in spring by removing any withered or tired-looking leaves. Heuchera adds a bit of flavor to any perennial garden with its texture, vigor, and vibrant color.  This Heuchera adds brilliant and exceptional color to the darkest spot in your garden!   * Heat and humidity tolerant * Impressive foliage * Small compact
